Considering what Darnos did to Xantalos' psyche, I have a feeling he won't be joining for the reboot.
~~Twilight Academy Student Contract~~
I, Veikko Diefenbach hereby declare my intent to attend Twilight Academy. I swear upon my life to speak not a word of it to any person, being, or spirit not of the Academy, and to uphold its laws and tenants to the best of my ability. I also attest that all of the following is true and accurate, and that I am not omitting any information from the Academy within this Contract. I understand that the Twilight Academy is concerned with ability, not morality, and that any criminal past is not a bar to entry, but I will be expected to refrain from acts which might reveal Twilight Academy to the public, including being caught breaking any federal laws or using my powers before any person not privy to this information already.
Applicant's Name: Veikko Diefenbach
Age: 16
Power: The controlled administration of life-energy
Specialty: Technical
Short Self-Description (For Identification Purposes): 6' tall, light tan, dark hair, green eyes, medium nearing-slim build.
Short History (For Records): People change, they always do. Who we thought we were yesterday, are not who we are tomorrow. Dreams are fleeting, passions burn and burn out, leaving only scars and embers to remind us that they we once bore them as our worlds. When I was a younger man, I was spoiled, blinded to the world with that innocent, childish cruelty that we all know but care not to acknowledge.
I was, curious, curious about this world, this life, and of course, my powers. But curiosity, untempered by virtue, unrestrained by principle, is a dangerous and selfish affair. There was of course, the usual, the banal but disturbing, burning ants with a magnifying glass, but there was worse, far worse. I remember coming across a bird's nest, and one by one, I killed the chicks within with my bare hands, so that I could see if my talents may have fixed them. My parents were of course, distraught.
I was, blind at the time, too young to know better, too sheltered, too asocial to learn. Of course, that does not excuse my actions; when the hunter sees a beast lunging for his throat, he does not lament the hand fate had dealt to it, he just fires.
I, cannot say why I changed, simply put, I had time, and with time, inevitably comes change, and soon enough, I learned I couldn't keeping living that way, cold and indifferent. But, if I had to name something, some catalyst, then I would have to say that it was because I liked puzzles, and because I liked puzzles, I had a reason to speak to others, to talk, to listen, and therefore learn.
I realized, that there is much tragedy in this world, that not everyone had a life as good as the one I had until then squandered, and that I held within my own two hands a way to make a difference. What the world has broken, I may mend, and so the curiosity that which had before driven me to cruelty, gained purpose.
I write to you now, not as the cruel, foolish child I was once, but as someone dedicated to his craft, seeking to master and refine it for the benefit of others. I do not know what the future holds, and while time may bring atonement to a monster, it may very well bring to a saint their downfall, but so long as clutch these embers close to my heart, I hope, I will not forget why I set upon this path, and though I may lose my way, that I will push on until I find it once more.
